My 2nd time here. Very nice, modern venue with multiple theaters. Staff was nice. I didn’t purchase any concessions, but they had popcorn! I saw Lizard Boy and it was Fabulous!

The BCA does not care about visual artists — they only care about programs that generate revenue. They have forced visual artists from their studios, and the artists who live in studios at the Cloud Building. They lack communication with artists; instead, they hire subcontractors to handle it. If you are a person of color, stay away from this organization. If you are thinking of donating money, DO NOT send your money to this non-profit--they cannot even meet their outcomes. They preach about diversity and building community through the arts, but they have failed to do so.

See the locally produced shows here! You'll love them. I saw a production by the Chuang Company & was so happy to see a locally written & produced family story performed so well.

I volunteered at the Boston Art Book Fair and it was a great experience. The environment is really positive even when it’s busy and I got to chat with some of the exhibitors and there was so much cool work to see.
